  4. Some extra care has to be taken especially for certain body parts.

  5. Here’s a list of 5 body parts that you need to clean correctly:

  6. 1) Tongue

  7. Improper oral health can lead to fungal infections, which can cause black hairy tongue.

  8. This is a term that is used to describe bacterial and fungal growth on the tongue, which makes thetongue look black.

  9. This condition causes nausea and bad breath.

  10. You should ensure that the tongue is cleaned while brushing.

  11. You can either gently brush your tongue regularly or use a tongue scraper.

  12. 2) Ears

  13. Ear wax build up causes pain, itching, decreased hearing and drainage from the ear canal.

  14. Using pins, hairclips, ear buds to clean ear wax can cause more harm than good.

  15. Here is a simple step that you need to follow to clean your ears -

  16. Use lukewarm mineral oil to loosen the wax in the ears.

  21. Those tiny spaces can become breeding grounds for bacteria and fungi.

  22. Daily washing the feet with soap and water and putting good quality foot powder can prevent this from happening.

  23. 4) Nail Cuticles

  24. Nail cuticles are the part of the skin that grows over your nails.

  25. In case they are cut, it leaves open a wide area for the germs to attack your body.

  26. Not maintaining these can lead to paronychia - a condition that causes red spots around the cuticles.

  27. Wearing gloves while washing utensils or clothes can protect the cuticles.

  28. 5) Back
